This sunday its all age groups

My fixture list says just the big ones for Devonport away on Sunday - is that right? Most exciting about the new jackets by the way - and blinkin well done to Jack Gordon for that try and conversion on Sunday!
PS I've heard a rumour that Martin Johnson is house hunting in Stoke Fleming!!

25 January 2009 - v Newton Abbot (home)

Under 12s, Under 9s and Under 7s all played very muddy games on Sunday. Under 12s continue to improve, scoring their first try and successfully converting it at the beginning of the second half. The second half picked up from there on with some good aggressive play and a final score of Newton Abbot 70 - Dartmouth 7.

Under 9s had two very hard matches but have started to ruck well and the whole squad showed some great teamwork. Frankie, Jonty and Devon tackled well and Matt, Josh and Henry put is some great supporting play and great runs. Andreas despite still being new to the squad showed great determination and scored his first try. The first game ended with a fantastic score of Dartmouth 30 - Newton Abbot 5. The second game against a fresh NA squad was again hard fought and at half time saw Dartmouth trailing one try behind but after a brief half time pause the squad dug in and pulled back with three fantastic end to end tries from Devon and Josh and Newton Abbot despite some strong defensive work just couldn't find a response to the runaway train. The second game ended Dartmouth 35 - Newton Abbot 10.

The Under 7s also continue to work well with great teamwork and tagging all round. Joe and Alex Thomas and William Hollis all had excellent games with the team winning the first game by a convincing 8 - 6 and narrowly losing out in the second by one just one point Darts 9 - NA 10.

Well done all.

Boots Plea

Poor Angus (tall lad, scrum cap - you know the one) was rushed out of the Torquay changing rooms in a big hurry on Sunday so his little brother could get to a birthday party, and he left his brand-new-worn-once-Christmas-present rugby boots behind. They are size 8 Mitre boots and he is very sad...
His Dad drove all the way back to look for them (he was pleased!) but no sign, so if anyone has picked them up please give me a ring on 01803 832143 or email me heatherclong@yahoo.co.uk and I'll come and get them, or see you at training on Thursday.
Deary me!!!

Results Sunday 11 Jan

Under 11's - sadly another defeat but once again the team really pulled together and gave a good account. The trys are going to come, and the great thing is that everyone is really pushing for a win. Keep up the good work.

Under 9's - a full team for the first time this year, and the contrast to last week was evident. Both individually and as a team this was a fantastic performance, and well done to Andreas who is still new to the contact game but really got stuck in.

Under 8's - played two games and showed some fantastic skills in defence and attack. Some fantastic tagging from the whole team demonstrated how much the boys are coming on, although they were sadly beaten in both games.

Under 7's - On a tiny pitch, and with two players added from torquay, the game was difficult, but the boys showed their abilities once again. Alex and Mojo were as usual fast and furious, both scoring a couple of tries. William John scored a couple of excellent individual tries, as did William Hollis, and try of the day probably went to Oskar who broke away to run the length of the pitch and score.A draw and a win obscured the fact that Dartmouth Under 7's could have run away with the game.

Date: Mon 19th Jan 2009
Venue: Teignmouth RFC
Time: 6.30pm – 9.30pm

There is an IRB Rugby Ready course runing as above. Any coach who wants to teach rugby must now attend this course. The club will pay if you can do it.

Please contact Dickie.

I have now ordered the training tops and hope to have the order through within a couple of weeks.

The tops have been sponsored by my company, Julian Hollis, and Birssys Bar - thanks to all.

As a result they will be available at a knock down price tbc but likely to be well under a tenner.
